I was going to paint the hats as black shakos originally but the violet really looks 'different' so I'll keep them as is.<br /> <br />As for the baby…. Well I'm getting better at time management! Having a desk inside that I can sit whenever a moment presents itself is the way to go. And on that note the little fella is crying again... :)Col.

Pretty much every other book on that little shelf gets picked up from time to time but I'm fine with stacking models on that one because I know I will never need to clear them off to read it! Col.
